Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez are off to the U.S. National Team for World Cup Qualifying.

The pair were named to head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's 23-man squad for the U.S. matches against Costa Rica in San Jose on Sept. 6 at the Estadio Nacional and against Mexico on Sept. 10 at Columbus Crew Stadium.

Donovan and Gonzalez are just two of four LA players that will not be available for the Galaxy's match against the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 7, joining Robbie Keane (Ireland) and Jaime Penedo (Panama), who were each named to their respective national teams.
